Doing

9am –Start

 I guess you are all here because you want to go and start something. That’s good. Most businesses fail because they never start. So you are going to be ahead of just about 99% of other people.

Ok, today is going to be me going through 12 key points on building a brand with little money. Then after lunch, Mark Shayler will make you look at your customer in a new way.

1, Love.

You can always make more money, you can’t make more time.

So here is some advice: Find your love. And make the thing you love doing the thing you do the most of your time. Not just on weekends. Oh, and the good news is if you love doing, you will get good at it soon enough. Work will never feel like work. The ticking clock will not be the enemy. And in the end, all that love will show in your product, your service, your business. And your day-to-day life.
